This is substantially coufes- sed, even by the partisans of tbe Admitm tration, in the continual charges they are making, that the South is full of violence. disorder, and bloodshed, and that there is no security there for the personal and political rights of a large class of the citizens.

Look on this picture, 0, men of the North, and tell me, how would you like to have it yours ? It is ours. Were that condition your own would you believe yourselves living under a free government ? Would your philosophy and self-control enable you tone always calm. always wise ? Would not the American freemen's soul within yon sometimes burst forth in wild passion and irrepressible rage ? We are learning to bear these things with patience, rauence and enuarauce are our watchwords, and will continue to be so under all the provocations of those who apparently seek to madden as that they make the capital out of our exhibitions of just reseutineut Such trials are sore indeed, and would crush the manly spirit of almost any people: but there is a vitality, a fortitude, and a high met tle in that magnificent race of southern white men which will, I trust euable them to go successfully through the dreadful or deal and come out of the craeible with finer, grander, nobler qualities, and fitted to stamp tbeir impress upon the pages of future his tory in characters even more resplendent than those which reoord their past. Because the radical leaders did not know the South, nor the motives and spirit of its action, nor the real temper of its people, they never comprehended the problem they were set to solye at the close of the war. The task of re storing the Union at that time was far easier and simpler than will ever be believed by those who have so wofully bungled over it. Even assuming that the southern people, in entering upon that great conflict of arms, committed an error of judgment, nevertheless, it is beyond doubt that they were faithful to their solemn convictions of duty ; that they were true to their honest opinions concerning the adjustment of powers under our system of government : and that they verily believe their cause was the cause of true liberty on thin continent. With this failli in tnem tens of thousands died for that cause with the purest motives of patriotism, ana wun uie cncernii resignation oi martvrs i nese are sooer truth-., ana l should think the northern people would love to recognize them as such. If thev do not, thev must judge all those millions of men who are now their coun tryineti to be concious and willful traitors and criminals of the worst type, and surely there would be small RatisfactioH in thinking thus of so large a number of those who are fellowciti zens with them of this great (omitry. On the other hand no one question that thoxe who fought on the aide of the Union were likewise honest, partiote, and thoroughly true to their sense of duty, and the cause of liberty and conn try as they viewed i. The differences of opin ion which divided the combatants were aa old asp: he Government itself. Tl ey had been de bated bitterly in this very Ha 1 for two genera tions, but they remained undecided until finally referred to the dread arbitmnicut of arms fruits. Failure, shameful, wretched fail ire, where each side maintained its views with a is the outcome of it all. The people of the heroism and devotion which struck the nations whole country have said so in the verdict of ! wilh awe anJ "hed y't iosUr upon the utter condemnation they gate iu the late American name.

Frequent reference is also made in the de bates here to the liberality which has been shown to the southern men in the removal of disabilities and restoration to the privileges of citiaeuship. But it ought not to be forgotten that those who now boast of removing disabil ities first imposed those disabilities and for the most selfishly partisan purpose that they I and noiaonea with an iudk e. might Ue the haud of the most intelligent and I No Wend ofthenegrocould falltoperceivethat nervert mv meaninr snd charged me with hostility to the colored ixmpie. nut l nave no inch leelinr. nor lava those whom I represent here. Be tween tbe southern whits people and the negroes, with acarcelr an exception, there al ways existed a good understanding and een- umeauoi mendshin and kindly regard. Thi Is inoomprehenfible to those self-conceited fanatics whose knowledge of southern affair is no derived from a study of the (acts bit ' evolved from their own inner consciousness' implacable hatred of the ulera. Such is to-day the miserable situation of those tea millions of white men who fill that immense domain stretch tug from the Potomac youder to the far-off Kio Grande Instead of rebuilding the waste p'aces left by tbe war, our desolation grows more deso late ; no progress, no money, uo aeeamula tion of property, no opening to euterpnse no hope. Need we ask who is responsible for all this ? There is no difficulty in deter mining where the responsibility rests. It rests upou the leaders and so-called states men of the republican party. The close of the war found that party omnipotent iu this country, occupying all the departments of the Government, controlling tbe Army, aud haviug, also, prestige of the great victory just won in the field a conjunction of favor ing circumstances which might have insured to that party perpetual predoiniuauce had not tbe splendor of its achievements been so soon eclipsed by th magnitude of what I shall call its mistakes history will call them crimes. The task of rehabilitating the de feated States, and replacing them iu uormal relations to the rest of the Union, necessari ly fell into the hands of the radical leaders. It was theirs to devise aud execute the plans for this purpose, and there was noue to say them nay or seriously obstruct them. States ship never had a grander opportunity nor a nobler field iu which to exhibit its resou o s of skill and benenceuce. But behold the really destructive to all that the American people hold dear. They imagine or pretend that they are saving the institutions of the country, and yet fail to comprehend that those institutions, when transformed as they seek to have them, would really be destroy ed or not worth saving. For exauipie, they are trying to suspend the wnt of habeas cor vanquished. They might have kept up a guerrilla war for an indefinite penod, and bankrupted the continent. But they j iekkd to their fate with that resignation which became a brave and patriotic and Christian people, as they are; for they fell they were surrendering not merely to the bayonets of their adversaries, but to the inscrutable decree of the God of battles ; and they felt, also, that the welfare of their country required that, if they yielded at all. they should yield without reserve.

How easily could the breach between the sec experienced class of the southern people until carpet-baggers and negroes, backed np by the military, couiu seise upon tne governments or all those States and contool them for tbe re publican party. Tho manner in which those disabilities were imposed, was also in violation of ever' principal of justice and liberty, for they were in tne nature of penalties laid upou individuals without trial, and for offenses whereof they were never convicted Their op eration was most unfair and ineanitablc. lor they often fell upon men who had been at heart faithful to tbe union, while many of tho most active confederates entirely escaped. Those disabilities were never removed until the radical loaders supposed their grip upon 'the South was too secure ever to be seriously en dangered bv any opposition. And now, when they behold the intellect and virtue of the South once more partially unfettered, .and ad vancing to that supremacy there which those attributes always will and oaght to maintain in every community of enlightened people, the Administration in V ashineton becomes profoundly nueasy, because ignorance and dJn h one -ty are losing control of the South; and at this very moment the most high-hauded and tyrannical schemes are being devised here by which new shackles may be put on the limbs t f southern white men.jo that tho subservient tools of the Administration may be enabled to wriggle their slimy way np again into place and power in that hapless section. All this is done, too, upon tbe pretext that the South is plotting a renewal of the war, when every man in America with a spoonful of brains ought to know that such an idea is at preposterous aa it would be to expect a rolcauo to burst out this day on Pennsylvania avennc. N ; the course of the leaders the of dominant party is not aud never has been magnanimous to wards the South but tyrannical, unpatriotic, exasperating, and thoroughly selfish. For 0110, 1 have always believed if that kind hearted man who was nHsasiuated in this city on the 14th of April, lefi6, had lived to deal with the problem of reconstruction, the South would have beou generously treated, and would have been happy and prosperous long ago.

Among the causes which have gone far to produce incalculable evils to the whote country, and greatly hindered tho solution ot tbe prob lem of southern restoration, must be specially uoted that selfish ambition of the radical lead ers which has prom; t -d, and still prompts them, to labor with far more zeal for the per petuation of their own political assendency than for tho welfare of tho American people and the preservation of our free institutions. I say tbe leaders, because I wish it to be well understood that iu this as well as every other point of my arraingnment of the republican party, I draw a broad line of distinction between the motives of those kadt r, and of the mouses who have followed and been misled by them. I believe iu tbe people, I have an abiding faith in tho uprigct and patriotic impulse of the popular masses, bo'h North and South, in their fidelity to tbe principles id frco government, aud in their wish to do rig'it, if they know what right is, and are not uiUled by demagogue and deceivers I am satisfied that tbe northern people, and especially those gallaut Union soldiers who constitute so considerable a part of that peo ple, and between whom and us there sprang up so profound a respect fur each othor in the long aud well-fought contest, would never nave sanctioned the unjust sud despotio measures If 1 mistake not. the lasssAaaa aoon demonstrate to even bod V that tain a renr different opinio.

But t pretended friends of the negro have done all they could to bring about race antagonism The negro, when freed and thrown oat to shift for nhnself, needed to go to work iodaauioas ly and without distraction, so as to secure a competency for hinatelf and familv. But the radicals diverted him from this .plain road of honest thrift, and made him a noisy, lazy poli iician, ana in too many rases the only thing he does now ia to steal and vote, while the men he elects to office govern and steal. Suf frage was given to him, thev said, to enable him to protect himself, and now they aay auOrage ia no protection, but a peril to him and they propose to nam the most extraordi nary laws, even going so far aa to suspend the writ oi anoeoj corpus, in order to secure to the negro his right to vote. Through snch contra dictory theories and inconsistent pretext the devious policy of the radical leader proceeds, consistent only in this, that its sole and con stant aim is their own aggrandizement. Instead of fostering pesea between the so needful to both and especially to the weaker, these selfish men banded the negroes together in secret, oath-bound leagues, instilled into their minds jealousy and hostility toward the white people, led them to the polls raswiaw to vote into office tbe vilest of man, used them to overthrow tbe governments and plunder the people of mates, to ruin credit, insu!t decency. ana trample out all hopes ot prosperity-, ia short, these men havf led the negroes to dbvracc themselves by their miserable failures in sphere of action for which they were unfit, aad also to become, aa far as poaaibla, a nuisance to the com munities in which they live. In spite ef aft this, the generous-hearted people of the South, who know the poor negro, do not hate Lira they only pity him. They know that be is lit tle to blame for it all, for in his ignorance ht has simply been the deluded tool of designing hypocritiea, who told him pleasing lies, bat cared nothing for him except to get his vote. One of the great incidental infuries dona the negro in this whole business is that he has been taught to depend so entirely on others and not on himself for his advancement a Unit which is naturally prominent in his negative, paras itical character, and needs to be eradicated and not fostered, if yon would make a man of bim. Another thing is tbe wild and extravagant notions that have been awakened in his bosom concerning what is to be done for him, concern ing his rights and his wrongs, and bis whole relations to be American Government and peo ple. For example, some of you sedulously in culcale uiton the negro, and try ourselves to believe, that his inferiority in menial and mor al advancement is tbe result of his former sub- lection in the South, t have more than on-e heard the expression on this floor that the "ne gro has been brutalized by southern slavery .'- It is time for such preposterous and slander ons nonsense to stop. A century or two ago the nearoes went into that slavery, a few utterly degraded, besotted, grub-eating, snake-worship ing savages. Jen years ago they came out from that yoke, millions of civilized, Christianized men, even able, in jour opinion, to help gov ern this glorious com. try . strange bruuu tine" lhat ! But the negro is kept unhappy and rcstlssa wilh the idea that lie is still a terribly wronged man. Instead of teaching him to use wisely the gifts he has received, yon keep htm pining for some great imaginary blessing still ahead, some El Dorado, some Hesperian garden, to which your legislation is to transport him, where the Ills which, alas, mast always oppress poor humanity, white and buck alike, cannot I was grealJ) struck with this thought the oth er day during the debate on the so-cal led "civil riahU mil.

MERONEY & BRO. in 1860 it was exclusively sectional, and the natural result of its entrance iuto authority was the hostile array of the two sections against each other in mortal strife. To this day that party remains sectioual iu its whole spirit aud toue aud leadership, and inaiuly so its composition ; for, with the exceptiou of a small minority of honest, but poorly-in-fonned men, its outy supporlets in the South are the negroes and carpet-baggers, a few pliable gentlemen who joined its for the sake of office and spoils. Duriug the six years of Grant's adiuiuistratiou, no southern man of auy race or color has occu pied a place in his cabinet. Jnstead ot giv itg meu of that section a share in the Fed eral administration, it has been common to send northern men down to fill the offices among us, to be legislators aud governors for our States, thus eonveruug tnem into radical satrapies instead of self-governing commonwealths.

I have heard republicans in thu Congress boast of their magnanimity to the boulh that they put nobody to death after the war. Well, as I will not be unfair or unjust, I deem it due to lay, what is a mutter for universal pride and congratulation, that the American neonle. both North and South. are free from that blood-thirsty temper which marks some races of men, aad which takes delight in blood and butchery for their own sake. History will record with satisfaction the fact that no venge ful slaughter of vanquished foes added to the rivers of fraternal blood which Uie war it self had shed. But candor requires the confes sion that no such slaughter could have occurred except through wanton barbarity, and in con travention of the law ; for it is, I believe,, well understood that even the confederate president was released from prison without a trial for treason because the ablest jurist of the country mm it as their ooinion that he could not be. ninth u 11 i.ir.il Irle.d oriminalit ! When the subject Is looked at closely. It Is astounding to perceive how greatly the leaders 1 of the republican party have been governed in their whole po.icy by the ambition to strength en their own grasp upon tho reins ol power. Common sense might have tanght that, in re- 1 building the scattered fabric of civilinstitution in the South, those olaases ol people soon in I have been allowed to bear a share in the work I who.: experience aud knowledge of affairs titled them for it. rtut uy the ingenious contri vance of disfranchisement and tert-ths, most if those men were banned and excluded froui i" ! the council nf their respective Si ates aud com munition at that niwt trying and important crisis. Why was this doue ? Simply because those were men of two stubborn and indepen dent material to become the tools of the domi nant party. It is false to say they ware ex cluded because they would have beeu danger ous to the country by forming new plans to reopen the war. Every man knew that this was impossible; and none knew it better than those who, having jnat overthrow u the miirhtv armies of the confederacy, felt them selves able to put down, without the slightest effort, auy new outbreak. No, sir; thoe men would hare built well enough for the welfare and peace of the country, for the restoration of the Union, fur the happiness and rerewed prosperity of the defeated Sta'es ay, they were the only men, with a few exceptions, who could secure these things but they would not serve the ends of the radical lead era.
